Why Your Charging Speed May Differ

The Mercedes-Benz CLA Electric supports up to 353 kW DC charging. Aral Pulse chargers deliver up to 300 kW. The network's maximum power is lower than what the car can accept, so your effective speed tops out at roughly 300 kW.

  • Charging slows down above 80% state of charge on most EVs, including the Mercedes-Benz CLA Electric.
  • Cold weather reduces charging speed. If your Mercedes-Benz CLA Electric supports battery preconditioning, use the built-in navigation to warm the battery before arriving.
  • If multiple cars share the same Aral Pulse station, power may be split between stalls.
